NECSS Partners inspire post-secondary opportunities by offering pathways that assist students in choosing a program of study that include several educational entrances and exits for life long learning.

Innovation Inspires Improvement

NECSS Initiative Projects

NECSS initiatives focus on achievement and completion for all students:

The Northwest Educational Council for Student Success (NECSS) partners provide students in Chicago's northwestern suburb with opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills to be successful in their careers.

Businesses are a key link for postsecondary transition from the classroom to the workplace. NECSS member districts and Harper College team with business partners to prepare students for today's global workforce.

NECSS is focused on ensuring all students exit high school with the necessary skills and knowledge for college and career readiness. Students are supported with academic and career planning tools, experiences and resources.
